Li Qinghuan

Chapter 134

Han Jue looked at him: "What are you going to do?"

"Enter Mobei."

The Donghu royal court was built in the depths of the desert. It would have been very difficult for Donghu people to find the royal court, but the people of Youzhou were in danger, so He Li had to take the risk.

At the beginning of the 12th year of Xuande, He Li led an army of [-] troops around Yulian Mountain and went all the way deep into Mobei.Han Jue led the army from Lancheng, crossed the border of Yanzhou and approached Youzhou. Now almost all the main force of Donghu is stationed in Youzhou. In order to buy enough time for the people of Heli Youzhou, Han Jue must try to hold back the main force of Donghu army.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of defenders of the Wei Dynasty came out and set up camp on the border of Youzhou, while He Li led his people all the way north.

It’s just that the way to Donghu Royal Court is not so easy to find. Previously, He Li accidentally broke into the Nadole tribe of Donghu, and drew a topographic map along the way when he came back. Unfortunately, Donghu has been nomadic for generations. Where to move, the topographic map at that time has completely lost its effect, and now I can only move forward by groping all the way.

The wind in early spring was still chilly, and the group of people walking under the snow-capped mountains was so cold that their hands and feet were numb.He Li reached out and rubbed his face that was sore from the wind, his expression became more and more tired: "Lu Yi!"

Lu Yize stepped forward immediately: "Here comes the general!"

He Li rubbed his wrists: "I can't go on like this, I'll be exhausted before I find the place."

Lu Yi didn't understand why, so he asked: "Then what should I do?"

He Li stretched out his finger and pointed to a direction in the distance: "Take two people and change into plain clothes and look in this direction to see if there are any Donghu tribes. Go and catch a few Donghu people to lead us the way."

Lu Yi: "General, can this work?"

"It doesn't matter whether he can do it or not, first arrest the person and then talk about it. If threats don't work, just lure them. Try to catch the kind of homeless people who seem to have nothing to do."

He Li knew that if this continued, it would definitely delay the opportunity of the battle. Now they have delayed a lot of time, and Han Jue can't wait too long. They can afford to wait, but the people of Youzhou can't afford to wait.

The nearest Donghu tribe is only a few tens of miles away. After going there for a long time, Lu Yi came back with two ragged old men. Lu Yi threw them in front of He Li.

"General, I've been arrested. I picked it up from the street."

He Li got off his horse and said, "It didn't alarm too many people, did it?"

Lu Yi shook his head: "No."

"Okay." He Li took two steps forward and squatted down, "Can you understand the Central Plains dialect?"

The two old men were dumbfounded when they saw such a big battle, and nodded blankly.

Lu Yi glanced at the two of them: "This is quite close to Youzhou. Before the war, many people would come here to do business. They should be able to understand."

"It's good, it saves me the trouble of talking nonsense to them." He Li responded, then turned to the two nonsense people and said, "Don't be afraid, please help me."

The two Donghu people looked at He Li timidly. After a long while, a man who was a little bolder spoke first: "What's the matter? Is there any benefit?"

"Of course, what do you want?"

"We want to go to the Central Plains, and we need money... and land that can grow wheat!"

He Li smiled and said: "Wait a minute, I haven't asked you for any help yet."

The man stared, pretending to be calm and said: "Say it!"

"Can I do anything?"

"Of course, just give me what I want."

"Take us to find your royal court, can you do it?"

The man rolled his eyes and said firmly, "Yes."

Seeing that they were so sure, He Li naturally felt a little strange, and said suspiciously: "We are from the Great Wei, don't you wonder why we are looking for Wang Ting? Are you afraid that I will be disadvantageous to Donghu?"

"What does it have to do with us being unfavorable to Donghu?" The man's eyes burst out with greed, and he asked back: "Can you really give me what I want?"

He Li smiled slightly: "Of course, the premise is that you can really lead us to Donghu Wangting, you have to think clearly, your life is also in my hands, if you dare to lie to me, how you two will die is up to me never mind."

"make a deal."

He Li's move is really a little bold, no matter what the situation is, it is a very risky behavior to appoint Donghu people, but he can't care so much at the moment.From the moment He Li decided to lead an army of [-] into Mobei, they had no way of retreating. First, they had no reinforcements, and second, they had no supplies. They could only keep moving forward.

Along the way, I passed by many Donghu tribes. After fighting this battle for so many years, Donghu was defeated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the grand occasion at that time was long gone.He Li had always been merciless towards Donghu. He walked and fought all the way. After nearly three months, he finally reached Donghu's royal court.

All the troops that Donghu could fight were dispatched to Youzhou, and He Li took down Donghu Royal Court almost effortlessly.

He Li immediately sent a message to Han Jue, but before the message arrived, the Donghu army in Youzhou began to counterattack with all its strength.The Youzhou border once again ignited the flames of war.

When He Li heard the news, his heart sank. They had spent so much effort to find Donghu Wang Ting, and now it was all in vain.

Lu Yi hastily ran into Wang's tent with the military report: "General!"

He Li closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, extremely tired: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty's letter asks you to destroy the main force of Donghu at all costs."

"At all costs? What about the people of Youzhou? Don't you care?"

Lu Yi glanced at it, handed the letter from the court to He Li, and didn't dare to speak.

He Li opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at the piece of paper.

The tent was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. After a long time, He Li stood up and said, "I have already sent someone to transfer Luo Ran here. I will arrive in two days. I will leave this place to you first."

"What about you, General?"

"I'm going back to Youzhou."

He Li still couldn't treat the people who survived the flames of war in Youzhou as nothing. The army fought for the people, but now they want to abandon the people in order to completely wipe out Donghu. He Li couldn't do it. On the border, in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, every time foreign enemies invaded, Youzhou was the first to bear the brunt.

The people of Youzhou have already suffered enough from the war, and now this battle is about to be won, and they will survive in peace and stability, how can He Li have the heart to kill their last hope, no matter whether they can be rescued or not, Always have to try to draw a conclusion.

He Li took 2 people away, and handed over the rest to Lu Yi.Once born and secondly acquainted, the way back was much smoother than when he came here. Within half a month, He Li brought his people back to the border of Youzhou.

Donghu is now in the royal court, and the army is in chaos. He heard that an army is coming from behind, and the army is in disarray. In the evening, He Li took ten skilled soldiers to disguise and It was easy to sneak into Donghu's camp.It wasn't for anything else, it was just another trick that set fire to Donghu's granary.

Seeing the chaos in Donghu's camp, all the troops guarding outside the city broke in and took advantage of the chaos to evacuate the people in the city.

He Li stood guard at the gate of the city, took out a firecracker and lit a paper stick tightly held in his hand, and threw it upward vigorously, a gorgeous firework exploded in the dark night sky, and lasted for a long time.

All of a sudden, there was sound of beatings and killings, and the people brought by Old General Han crossed the border of Youzhou in the dark. Overnight, the soldiers came to Junwang City, and the Donghu granary was burned. Now they are surrounded by the Wei army. At that time, Donghu Shanyu Al Khaner sent an envoy to discuss peace.

He Li had already returned to the army at this time, and when he heard that Donghu had sent an envoy, he was slaughtered and thrown under the city of Junwang without even seeing him.

After four or five days of stalemate, Donghu sent envoys to discuss peace again, but He Li beheaded him and threw him under the tower without any intention of negotiating peace.

Donghu has reached the end of the road at this time, there is no food and grass in the city, the supplies in the rear have also been cut off, and they will fall sooner or later, He Li has no intention of making false claims with him, how can he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?This battle has been fought until today. Since Donghu dared to send troops to provoke him back then, he should be prepared for no one to survive.

It's just that He Li still underestimated the viciousness of Donghu people.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the stalemate, Al Khaner opened the city gate, and a group of Donghu soldiers escorted seventy or eighty children out of the city gate.These children looked less than ten years old, crying miserably one by one, calling for help.

When He Li received the news, he hurriedly rode to the front of the formation, and Al Khan was already waiting on the city wall.

"He Li, you are finally willing to show up."

He Li was furious, but he had to force himself to calm down, and looked at Al Khaner on the city wall with a fake smile: "Shan Yu is really a good trick, using children to blackmail me."

Al Khan shrugged: "Who told you not to give me a chance to negotiate with you?"

He Li suppressed his anxiety and pretended to be relaxed: "There's nothing to talk about, just a few brats, there are plenty in the Central Plains. If you want to kill them, kill them."

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture to go back, only to hear Al Khan increase his voice: "He Li!"

He Li turned his face to the side: "Let me see how long you can last, do you really think Donghu is still the strong and powerful tribal alliance in the past? It has been broken up long ago, and now even your Donghu royal court is in my hands, what do you want?" talk to me?"

Al Khaner smiled: "If you are willing to come out to meet me for these brats, I have already won half the battle, haven't you? If you dare to leave, I will dare to kill you."

He Li froze, turned his horse's head, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"

"Let me go and let your army withdraw from the royal court."

"you are dreaming!"

Al Khan smiled without saying a word, drew his bow and shot an arrow to the nearest child, and the other children hugged each other and cried and shouted.

"stop!"

"General He agreed?" Al Khan smiled and withdrew his hand, "You are as soft-hearted as General He Huaizhou."

He Li: "If you let these children go, I will let you go."

Lu Yi was in a hurry: "General!"

Han Jue hastily rode forward, dissuading him, "No!"

He Li lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he gently raised his hand: "Give me the order to go down and retreat five miles!"

Han Jue opened his mouth to persuade, but He Li said softly, "Order people to set up bows and arrows outside Junwang City, hurry up."

"But His Majesty said that Al Khan was going to be captured alive."

"I can't control that much anymore, go quickly."

Han Jue opened his mouth, but turned and left without saying anything.

Al Khan on the city wall narrowed his eyes and said, "He Li, what trick are you trying to do?"

He Li raised his head, without changing his face, he said: "I am a great general, what kind of tricks are I playing with you?"

Al Khan thought about it carefully, and seemed to think that what he said made sense, so he didn't say any more.

He Li snorted coldly and asked, "When did you release him?"

Al Khaner replied, "Of course I will be released when I am safe."

He Li nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."

Half an hour later, hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers withdrew five miles away, and Al Khan withdrew from Junwang City with less than [-] remnants of Donghu's defeated generals, and withdrew north with the dozens of children. .

He Li didn't dare to relax, he rode his horse and followed closely. The imperial court ordered a quick battle several times, and finally drove the Donghu people into the place where the ambush was set up.

Coincidentally, the place where Old General Han set up an ambush this time was almost the same as the place where He Huai Zhou had ambush and died in Dorky's death.

Small hills like this are very common on the grasslands, but He Li always felt that this hill was a bit unusual.

He looked at the small hill that was neither high nor short from a distance, and he felt uncomfortable all the time. He was so silent that he was almost sluggish, and half of his face was brightened by the setting sun, just like the boy back then. In extremely similar scenes, if you can't come back to your senses for a long time, is this also karmic reincarnation?

The Donghu people soon discovered that there was an ambush. In the chaos, a cavalry force of more than a hundred people rushed into the Donghu chaos, and quickly snatched back the child kidnapped by the Hu people.

A loud bang pierced the sky, and a large army appeared in the direction of Junwang City, wearing black iron armor, stepping on the sun like blood, He Li gently raised his hand, pressed it down, and all arrows were fired.

The flag of the Red Wing Army fluttered in the evening wind, as if, no, not as if, but as if, invincible and invincible.
